The current security model automatically allows use of the tools by any volunteer who appears on the organizational roster. Volunteers can create meetings/events, WebInABox sites, run elections, etc., while members and in many cases general public can view meeting/event information, visit WebInABox sites, etc.
Volunteers should use their IEEE web account username and password to login. If you do not recall your Web Account information, you may go to: http://www.ieee.org/web/accounts to recover your username or password online.

In the next version of vTools.Events, all volunteers will be able to view and manage all of their events and any report details as one view through the use of administrative dashboard-like pages. Reporting an event (L31) will be made easier by simply by providing attendance numbers.

Events/Report Administration.
This administration dashboard will include a list of the top 20 events displayed in three (3) tabs (Recent, Upcoming, Draft).
Options include:
• Schedule a new event
